Oral cancer screenings
Oral cancer screening is a small but important part of every comprehensive exam. Your dentist evaluates the soft tissues of your mouth for early signs of change that may need monitoring.
Why screenings matter
- Visual assessment of tongue, cheeks, lips, and gums
- Screening for colour or texture changes
- Monitoring areas that may benefit from follow-up
What the visit is like
The screening is gentle and brief. We examine the tissues of your mouth under good lighting and explain anything that looks different or may need monitoring. If follow-up is recommended, we outline the timing and the next steps in clear, simple language..
